Marlin Fishing Charter Mayhem 

Marlin is shouted, the senses are elevated from high alert to overload as the adrenalin rush we love and crave kicks in. Seeing the astonishing beast takes life to the next level as Marlin are truly creatures straight from a fairy tale. They brandish a powerful sword which they use with skills beyond those of the greatest swordsman. They light up like a neon blue Vegas sign, accelerate at Telsa humbling speeds to over 100kph and could out maneuver Maverick in a fighter jet. They even fly through the freaken air!!
